I've just installed ftpd from the stable potato packages. Anonymous ftp cannot log in because ftp user does not exist. I've setup a chroot jail in /home/ftp. What's the best way to add user ftp in a security conscious way. I tried useradd ftp, then in /etc/passwd I changed it's shell to /bin/false. Anything else I should be aware of?
I'd use scp but work's firewall has the port blocked and I'm not particularly excited about sending my username and password for my "normal" account login so I decided to go the anonymous way. Bill
